Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts (November 2013)
Game Informer says play it on whatever console floats your boat, since they're the same.
There has been much discussion online in recent weeks about resolution issues affecting PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One titles. It's been confirmed that the PlayStation 4 version runs at a native 1080p, but the Xbox One version is upscaled to 1080p from 720p. I played Call of Duty: Ghosts extensively on both next-gen systems on several televisions of different sizes, and saw no differences between the two versions. The experience was virtually identical on both consoles throughout the duration of my play time. If you own both consoles and are deciding which version of Ghosts to get, I'd recommend simply going with whatever console your friends will be playing on.

chess is correct on this one, reviews are all over the place on it. I'd rather have the better framerate to higher resolution.
The most unusual is one person saying it slowed to a crawl, while others said they ran exactly the same. Makes me wonder if the PS4 really does have some overheating issues.

Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts (November 2013)
Another random thing...
Did the update over the weekend remove the ability to mute all players easily?
I was in a match where a few people were being obnoxiously loud with their, "AWW"s and "Oh shit!"s. I paused, went to "Mute players" and the only real option was to select each player individually. I just wanted to mute them all at once and get back to the game. I swear I was able to mute all just a few days ago, but now I don't see that option.

Infinity Ward are such a bunch of dicks. I tired to name my squad after East Bound and Down characters and both Kenny Powers and Stevie Janowski are prohibited due to profanity.

Where's that review from?
Also, I downloaded the digital version of Ghosts on the 360, so I can upgrade to the One version for $10. But, the fine print says I have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for the Free Fall download code. What the shit?
Also, I suck at multiplayer, too. It was nice to get extra XP all weekend, and I've gotten enough squad points to do some upgrades, so there's that. I tend to get frustrated too quickly, and just run & gun, which doesn't end well... ever. My KDR is a measly 0.5.

Noticed that as well....2-3 weeks? Did they say when we're getting the code for the next gen upgrade?

Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts (November 2013)
The custom clan tag you can get, once you reach a certain level. I cannot have mine as 8Bit which is the short form of my gaming community. Other people in my group can. I've narrowed it down to an issue with gamertags that start with C since the only other person in our group that couldn't also use 8Bit had his gamertag start with a C. I assume the system thinks that the word Bitch is going to be spelled.
Though the whole thing is dumb because I've seen far worse clan tags in use. Things like PSSY, JEW, VAG, F ag..... I've contacted both IW, and Activision (I think)... whoever is in charge of CoD. They keep saying its an issue with Microsoft's prohibited text, since I was playing CoD on the XBox system. After reaching out to MS support once, they said that the issue is on the game developers side. Grrrr.. This has been an issue since CoD 4.. I've given up on ever getting any resolution.

The next gen game won't be a code if you purchased digitally directly from xbox, I think. I thought I read that the game would just show up as a $10 purchase in the digital store, as long as you already own the 360 digital version.

Heh.. I've got you beat with an even more stupid example.

I tried K Powers, K. Powers, etc and they were all blocked. They wouldn't even let me name someone La Flama Blanca. I guess Guy Young got a job with IW.

Right, because you bought the physical copy (or physical case with codes inside).
Sgtsnake and I bought the digital copies directly on the Xbox, which promised that the Free Fall code would be emailed... 3 weeks later.

What the shit?
Day one patch makes Call of Duty: Ghosts single-player 1080p on PS4
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...r-1080p-on-ps4
So, all the reviews and comparison videos were actually the same damn resolution? The internet lost its collective shit and fought a goddamn war over no difference whatsoever?

Yeah, there were reports of an update as well to smooth out the framerate soon, so who knows. These things are PCs now.
